solar system is almost entirely made of nearly empty space * All planets orbit the sun in the same direction (counter-clockwise) * Most rotate in the same direction * Venus rotates backward * Uranus rotates on its side (equator perpendicular to equator) * nearly all the moons in the solar system‚ including Earth’s moon‚ orbit around their planets counterclockwise * mercury’s orbit is the least circular * dwarf planets like Pluto have very eccentric orbits * planet orbits

Population is 32‚021‚856 people. The Population density is 136 per square mile. 2. What is the general climate? Its’ precipitation? Its’ temperature ranges? The general climate of Kenya is divided into two almost equal parts by the equator. The region North of the equator is hot and dry and receives comparatively little rain. The Southern region falls into three different weather/conditions zones: The coast is more humid‚ the average annual temperature ranges from about 24.4º C (about 76º F) in June

Evolution of Skin Pigmentation due to UV Levels and Genes Introduction Identification of a person has long been related to the color of their skin‚ as skin color is the defining measure of races. There are multiple variations in skin color throughout the globe‚ with the differences in outward appearance ranging from dark to light. But what exactly has caused this to occur? What is the underlying event that has led to so much variation in the pigmentation of a person? What selection pressures

Biomes 29/11/2012 AD Taiga or Boreal forest The Taiga is an area of coniferous forest that is the largest land Biome as it makes up 29% of the forest cover of the world. It constitutes most of inland Canada‚ Alaska and northern US states‚ most of Sweden‚ Finland and Norway‚ lowland and coastal areas of Iceland‚ Russia: from St. Petersburg to the Pacific ocean including most of Siberia‚ northern Kazakhstan‚ northern Mongolia

to gravity. (i) Acceleration due to gravity changes with the change in distance from the centre of the earth. (ii) Acceleration due to gravity is maximum at the poles of the earth. Its value decreases as we move towards the equator‚ such that its magnitude is least at the equator. (iii) Acceleration due to gravity decreases as we move inside the earth‚ such as deep mines. (iv) Acceleration due to gravity decreases as we move away from the surface of the earth‚ such as on the mountains‚ in aeroplanes

| A connection which could be illustrated‚ and could be understood by students who know the perimeter of a circle‚ runs as follows: Put the sphere of radius R inside a cylinder‚ with the cylinder just touching the equator‚ and cut off at the height of the top and bottom of the sphere. (A cutaway view is in the diagram.) [pic] What is the area of the curved part of the cylinder? 2 Pi R x 2R = 4 Pi R2. This is found by slicing the cylinder surface and rolling it out

information. It is a question people have been trying to answer as early as 200 BC. Today‚ modern scientists and equipment – such as satellites and other similar devices – tell us the circumference of the earth is 40‚075 kilometers when measured at the equator‚ and though the ancient peoples did not have access to such advanced technology and equipment‚ but instead were forced to use rather primitive methods to measure the circumference‚ their estimation of the answer was remarkably close to the true figure

Like I just stated‚ Antarctica would have had to be close to the equator in order to have coal. But‚ massive scratches in the earth found in Africa may suggest that there might have been some glacier activity. But‚ just like Antarctica today‚ Africa is has a very warm climate that could not have possibly been able have

(Larsen 2017‚ pg 115). Similarly‚ cold-adapted mammal populations will have short limbs‚ which minimize the body’s surface area and this promotes heat conservation (Larsen 2017‚ pg 115). By studying different populations and their relation to the equator‚ Allen was able to develop this scientific breakthrough. This scientific breakthrough is similar to Bergmann’s rule that was discovered in 1847. Allen’s breakthrough allowed scientists to find an understanding between environments and populations
